Look We Love: Mindy Kaling's Pixie Cut on The Mindy Project Season Finale

Last night, on the season finale of The Mindy Project, creator and star Mindy Kaling chopped off her long, wavy (shiny, extremely enviable) hair to prove her commitment to her Haiti-bound minister boyfriend. Relax—it was just a wig. (We know from her Met Gala appearance last week that she's still sporting the long, layered look.) If you had asked me last week if Kaling would look good with supershort hair, I would have said no, but I officially stand corrected. When Kaling dropped the hoodie and revealed a piecey pixie cut, I was sincerely shocked by how great she looked.

I've never really been completely convinced that a round face can pull off such a short crop—and I'm not the only one. Danny, her will-they-or-won't-they love interest on the series, claimed that "only three women have pulled off this cut: Audrey Hepburn, Halle Berry, and Ellen Degeneres." While I think Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Carey Mulligan,Emma Watson, and Ginnifer Goodwin could easily join their ranks, I was inclined to agree on the exclusivity of this club. The hairstyle is not always flattering on everyone, especially if you're not well informed before you request it.
